Mistigram: June is usually #Pride month, but in area code 604 it's August and celebrations are in full force right now. This #teletext screen by @atonalosprey.bsky.social, 'Bright Idea', conveys the experience. This piece was included in the MIST0823 artpack released three years ago this month.

I'm probably unreliable because when me and my wee brother were kids, we thought the ceefax map of Ireland looked like Martin Auden who owned a local corner shop. Looking at it now, he didn't really, a bit maybe

Martin Auden to the left. His chin wasn't that big tbf. The rest is probably fair

Even though half of the channels come up with some kind of connected TV cookies notice, majority of the German channels still have teletext. If it ain’t broke. Other point, Comedy Central Germany’s output is in English. Go figure, can’t change the language setting either.

Whoa, dunno why but that just sent me back to the days of Teletext. I checked it a few years back and the NSFW channels were hilariously cheesy with the kinds of messages people were still putting there.
